What are cats like?

My Mom believes I should adopt a cat, not only to have a furry companion but because they’re better to maintain than a dog. Which is true because growing up my choice of pet was the dog, and training them was a b$tch. I still adore dogs though so getting a cat would be new to me.

Cats are great, but you can't expect them to do tricks like a dog. They will learn very quickly to use a litter box, and some can be taught to use the toilet with enough patience.

But where they excel is, they just chill with you. They hang in the same room, with no expectations.
